If your child isn't doing so well at maths, there's not much you can do - they just have no talent for it, right? Wrong! Most of us have been taught that the ability to excel at mathematics, or even to keep up with the class, is innate - you either have the aptitude for it or you don't. As a result, children who start to struggle and fall behind in maths classes are frequently encouraged to feel: that's that. They're no good at maths and they never will be.
